Speaking during an interview with CNBC, the AI pioneer labeled the company a \u201cfailure\u201d and expressed strong skepticism regarding its capacity to rival frontrunners like OpenAI and Anthropic. LeCun attributed the venture\u2019s struggles heavily to an exodus of talent, stating, \u201cXAI is kind of a failure, frankly, because the founding team has\u201d departed.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">LeCun further asserted that Musk\u2019s past management style has severely hindered his recruitment capabilities. \u201cElon is now in a position that is very, very difficult for him to kind of hire top people in AI, because he\u2019s kind of, you know, not behaved in sort of very good ways toward the \u2026 previous team,\u201d LeCun remarked. He added that xAI\u2019s strategy of renting out excess data center capacity to outside firms indicates a scramble to offset heavy infrastructure expenses.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">Despite losing senior members over the past year, Musk has aggressively expanded computing infrastructure, recently merging xAI with SpaceX in a deal valuing the combined business at approximately $1.25 trillion. Nevertheless, LeCun concluded, \u201cI\u2019m not very positive about the prospect of xAI,\u201d warning of a broader industry correction driven by unsustainable AI expenditures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.infomance.com\/news\/metas-ai-chief-just-called-elon-musks-xai-a-failure\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta&#8217;s AI Chief Just Called Elon Musk&#8217;s xAI A &#8216;Failure&#8217; https:\/\/www.infomance.com\/news\/metas-ai-chief-just-called-elon-musks-xai-a-failure\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-19 15:40:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":276322,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.infomance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/s.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-276321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276321"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276321"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276321\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":276323,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276321\/revisions\/276323"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
